It's no secret that if there's one thing GM Don Sweeney loves to do in the offseason, it is to sign some good old-fashioned grit. This pattern dates back all the way to the days of Matt Beleskey (remember him?), David Backes, and Jimmy Hayes, with more recent additions in the past few years, including the likes of Nick Foligno, A.J. Greer, and Patrick Brown.
Now, this year's bottom six class consists of familiar faces Sean Kuraly, Tanner Jeannot, and Michael Eyssimont, most notably. With an offseason that was defined by the Bruins' notable amount of cap space following significant trades this past deadline, the question looms of what exactly we can expect from these somewhat controversial acquisitions that took up a large portion of such spending money.
